Reports and Memoranda was a series of over 3000 research reports and documents on aeronautics published by the UK's Advisory Committee for Aeronautics and its successors."[1] The first of the Reports and Memoranda was published in 1909, and the first 673 were issued by the Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. More were published by the successor organization, the Aeronautical Research Committee, published later issues. The reports continued until 1980, shortly after what was by then called the Aeronautical Research Council was disbanded. The numbering of the reports does not always reflect the order of their publication.[1]
